Is Viktor Worth Getting?

I heard that there was controversy surrounding some changes to Viktor's main abilities but that it turned out that the win rate has gone up.

I like the idea of Viktor and I think he looks really cool in-game. Now that I can't seem to make Vlad work anymore (ever since the rework his kit has become an over-clunky mess and he just has no advantage whatsoever compared to other Mid laners besides being able to survive lane), I am looking to increase my champion pool.

Is Viktor a good option? How powerful he in the meta right now?

Why would someone pick him over Lux or Ahri? What is his niche? Is he good champion to get?

He is supposed to be a zone control, high burst mage. He was strong for some patches, but they nerfed him to the ground after being the top midlaner in competitive. He is not good at all vs tanks, because he can't spam like other mages who will outdamage him in teamfights, because his CDs are kind of long even with some CDR. If the enemy team has champions that can be 1shotted, he is the right choice. Annie and Veigar are similar champions, but they are easier to play and more rewarding - RITO's balance is "OP".

hes ok. hes strong now. his E is nerfed and there is more damage in Q and Ult than before so its a trade off. lost damage on E and gained damage on Q and Ult.

Just to give you fair warning, Riot seems to have issues with not overnerfing Viktor.

Hey there, Viktor was the first champ I started playing lol with ( I skipped Ashe in tutorial ) and I main him. Viktor is a unique mid laner so u can't just compare it with Ahri or lux. He comes weak early game but as the game goes on u will get more and more powerful so far that u might end up killing an adc with Q+E+ basic attack in less than a second . This actually confuses both Viktor players and their opponents cause his power could be a mystery through out the game Since your power grows rapidly.

Laning:You'd better not start a fight early and keep safe farming + poke with your E or Q +BA when enemy mid laner wants to farm.Use your W defensive early. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MANA. You can easily farm with your E after 6 and your augment (if u don't fall behind). After 6 you have a high chance of killing the enemy if you zone them in your W and ult them.

Teamfights: After the recent mage updates they changed his ult to be strong in team fights. in team fights u just must zone your enemies in the gravity field + ult and E them their HP will be melting for the next 6 seconds( right now item 3116 is essential since they will be slowed to death)

If you think you like this type of champion then go on and buy him train with him and it will pay off in right hands he is quite strong, some are just LeeSin (blind) to see ...
